Back in the day, I was an awesome aunt.
I always had fun ideas.
There were times I sent them in to the store with $5, for them to get ingredients to add to Vanilla ice cream I would provide, and they had to create the best ice cream flavor.
I had them dress up like Michael Jackson and dance for $$$ the day he died.
There have been tons of scavenger hunts.
Tons of challenges.
Tons of games.
So now, when we all gather together, the pressure is on!
Especially because they are older now!
I think all of our expectations are really high.
Good thing my idea well hasn’t dried up quite yet.
Because “dance on the corner until you get a honk” was pretty funny!
Especially when Jon busted a move.

But nothing topped the one thing that has eluded me my whole life.
Something I have always wanted to do, but never have tackled.
But all of us went in our suits, and headed to the DHHS pool, for a little late night dip.
Scout tried to climb the fence, but Cade found a better way for us all around the corner.
Good thing this strong guy lept up and over, and opened the door for all of us.
And then we all ran in and bombed the pool!
But then we heard noises, and all ran as fast as we could in the other direction!
And when I turned to see that we all ran into a dead end, I laughed so hard I wet my pants!
And in an attempt to escape, Jon and Navy and Scout started to climb.
As I called off the escape, Jon was long gone, and Navy was over to the other side.
Then Cade opened up the gate to the pool again and we all swam.
Until I yelled out “Where’s NAVY?”
We had lost her five minutes before, and Jon was back.
WE all ran out of the pool, as my heart went racing.
Good thing my smart little girl was waiting for us at the car.
-
THe we headed to the Marriott where we all went in the hot tub.
And Scout scared a couple off by going right up to them and speaking Chinese.
He is quite the comedian!
-
Then to McDonalds for ice cream cones.
-
Honestly, we laughed so hard that night, we will never forget it.
Although my idea well isn’t dry yet, I am wondering if I should be a bit more cautious, now that I have my own kids in the game!
